but as an anonymous jane doe filed an extortion suit against this alleged victims attorney, his name is tony buzbee. tony buzbee at the time told me that that's not true, that he is not extorting him. he said that it's very typical to send a demand letter and try to settle something privately so that jay-z, jay-z's name, wouldn't be out there. but now he did put his name out there in this amended suit. now, i want to read you part of what jay-z said. he actually references his family. he says his only heartbreak is for his family. quote, my wife and i, of course beyonce will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims and explain the cruelty and greed of people now, i've reached out to a representative for beyonce. no word yet from her. don't know if we will hear anything from her, but i reached out to buzbee last night because jay-z is coming out against this. so strongly, and he tells me the pleading speaks for itself. this is a very serious matter that will be litigated in c

a woman who was identified as jane doe alleges jay-z, along with sean combs, assaulted her back in 2000hen she was 13. jay-z's attorney showed photographs placing him at a manhattan venue the night in question. the lawyer says the accuser's story is not plausible because of the time it would take for him to go from that venue to the suburbs, where the accuser said she was assaulted. she recently admitted to her some inconsistencies in her account, but her attorney insists his firm thoroughly vetted her claims. jay-z's legal team has now sued the woman's attorney, accusing him of trying to shake down innocent celebrities. all right. this morning, a new frontier for rats. researchers at the university of richmond train them to drive little cars, and apparently they like doing it. they would give the rats the option to walk or drive to a pile of fruit loops. and obviously the rats chose to drive. next, they may try to see whether the rats like to race each other. i can tell you right now the answer is yes. all right. we have important chicken nugget news this morning. a brand new option, a

but, jane, what does your reporting show about any of this as a pattern of behavior and also that sexualation from 2017? jane: well, i mean, we have to say, of course, that he has denied sexually assaulting this woman. she's anonymous at this point. but the thing that has brought much attention to this is that he failed to disclose to the transition staff that he had secretly struck up a settlement with this woman and has been paying her and that they also struck up a nondisclosure agreement to try to keep it secret. and so the trump administration has decided not to have the fbi investigate potential cabinet officers. so they didn't have the fbi doing a background check. and pete hegseth never told the transition staff that this was in his background. it just came up because a friend of the woman's actually went to the transition team and said, did you realize this about him? so these tales from the past in his life just seem to be surfacing one by one by one. amna: jane, the trump team was reportedly blindsided by some of the recent reporting about hegseth. from your sources, does it s
